President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, as he marks his 81st birthday anniversary on November 24, 2021.
The President, in a release issued yesterday his Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, warmly rejoiced with the dedicated public servant, who had variously worked for a greater nation, serving variously as medical doctor, consultant physician/permanent secretary, chief consultant physician to a president, commissioner of education and minister of health.
President Buhari noted the wisdom and experience that the former High Commissioner had always brought to every national assignment, setting standards, motivating others to achieve goals, and uplifting many in his community and across the nation.
As a member of the Constituent Assembly, 1988-89 and Senate Majority leader, the President affirmed that Dr. Tafida also played a major role in shaping political developments in the country, and has remained relevant in inspiring many leaders.
He, therefore, prayed that the Almighty God will grant him good health, strength and longer life.
